Oxford Folk Club Spring Season 2011

The Club

After 20 years at the Port Mahon, the Oxford Folk Club will now be meeting upstairs at the Folly Bridge Inn, Abingdon Road, Oxford. The Folly Bridge Inn is just a little way south of the actual Folly Bridge and river.
We welcome all folk performers and, of course, audiences, and have regulars who offer both traditional and also more contemporary material.
We can almost always ensure that those who wish to perform will get a chance on Open Nights (usually a couple of numbers).
Time for floor spots is obviously much more limited on Guest Nights, so do let us know if you are coming on these dates and hoping to perform. We will do our best to get you on if we can, especially if you are coming from a distance.

Open Night

Kimber's Men
Arguably the finest shanty group in Britain today!
This is a rare opportunity to see the guys inland in the south of England, so don't miss it.

Dana & Susan Robinson
"Rural America explored with elegant simplicity." We are very pleased to be able to provide an extra guest night to play on the Friday of folkweekendoxford.

Open Night

6 May 2011
Magpie Lane
"Magpie Lane perform traditional English music and song. They combine powerful vocals
with vigorous dance tunes - inventive arrangements on acoustic instruments."

And...they are, of course, great favourites in Oxford, both individually and as part of the band.
May is a great month for traditional English music, so be sure to be part of what is bound to be a memorable event! Reservation by phone/email is encouraged.
